2023 Michigan Season Thread

[Cincydawg]

I look askance at any report sourced by some "Insider".  And yes, it fairly often is true, or nearly true, but I'll wait on confirmation.

We all note how much "reporting" of "news" these days is sourced by some "highly placed official".  It's a leak from someone attempting to shape the news.

Michigan insider Sam Webb says Partridge was fired over his communications with players and not destroying computer files.  Apparently he communicated something deemed as not cooperating with the investigation by Michigan’s athletic department.  Partridge had no knowledge of in person advance scouting by Stallions was reported earlier.  So, it seems a lot of the Michigan detractors here are off in fantasy conspiracy land.

Beat the terps!

This is from the Detroit news.

Read the comment section.  These are Michigan based people- they are starting to see the light and the reality.    Will that ever happen for you?

Dellenger and Wetzel reported part of the NCAA evidence presented to Michigan points to a university booster named "Uncle T" as having partially funded the scouting scheme by giving Connor Stalions "thousands of dollars for expenses" and Partridge allegedly attempted to destroy "evidence on a computer" after news of the scandal became public.

Feels like the "Michigan Insiders" have been the least reliable people this whole time.

Ehh.. the same game could be said about other side about “sources” that have been painting worst case scenario outcomes.

it’s what sucks about social media. It’s full of tin foil hats, people with extreme hate or people unwilling to accept truth. Truth is normally somewhere in the middle.

Well sort of. But usually you can get a read on what's going on behind the scenes by reading the "insiders," since they are the ones talking most to people who know something. But it feels like the Michigan insiders are being fed garbage because everything they say turns out wrong, and they aren't even getting the scoops. Everything of consequence has been broken by ESPN or Yahoo. It's kind of weird.

Lotta smoke Glen Schemmy leaving,Alex Yude??? what was he even on the payroll as a lackey for Stalions?Weiss and what Cyber crimes?Partridge relieved for destroying evidence,Uncle "T" funding Stalions who was sent packing. Corum had an LLC established with Satlions that was dissolved just yesterday

Yeah I agree with that entirely. The espn and yahoo part has been weird. Tough to tell if it’s espn having an anti-BigTen pro-SEC bias or Michigan truly has a dirtier situation that they’ve been trying to cover. Starting to look like the latter.

ESecPN will do anything it can to paint the B1G in a negative light.

How’s that Harbaugh extension coming along?

I’d say there’s a much greater chance Ohio State will be looking for a new coach before Michigan.

[MrNubbz]

BET I don't even know the stupid significance of that as it's surfaced recently pertaining to UM

edit: you may be right though as the last two Buckeye teams had much more talent IMHO than this seasons.Specially with Stroud lighting things up in the League and losing Jones who has played outstanding on the line in Cleveland

If this is as accurate as your previous posts in this thread Harbaugh will be fired within a week and Day will retire from tOSU as an old man.

[MrNubbz]

But if the skunk weasels win specially w/o Boogs - Day's seat will get exponentially Hotter
